CLAIMS OF CHICAGO CIALIsrs.
They Declare the United Labor Party Will
Poll $4,000 Votes In To-Day's Election.

CHICAGO, April 4.-"The United Labor

tomorrow" said the Socialist organizer,
GrueDhut, to a reporter tonight. "Law Is
nothing else than public policy, and If th e

it is doDe. If we make such a showing to-.
morrow as to elect the Socialist, Stauber,
Treasurer of the city; also the West Town
ticket and six Aldermen, the Supreme
Court Will overturn Judge Garry's afro
ciOus rulings in a few weeks. Then
the Anarchists will get new trial and will
get Of. We don't expect less than $4,000;
we think there will be 10000
pOlled altogether. Nelson, the Knight
of Labor, our candidate for Mayor,
We don't now expect TO elect. He is the
weakest man on the ticket. We will elect
StaubeT Treasurer, and we will elect the
West Town ticket, and will make a hard
fight for the South Town. Six Aldermen
Will be elected by us, and perhaps the
others. Nine-tenths of our vote will be
in the boxes before the men go to their
work, and we have IS, 600 votes pledged.
There are 800 volunteer ticket peddlers
to be at work for us and majority of the
COCO carpenters now on a strike will be
around TO help. We are in the midst Of
a social revolution. There are lots of

NOTHING DEFINITE IN MICHIGAN.
Probability That the Anti-Liquor Element
Have Gained a Victory.

Have Gained Victory
DETROIT, April - Michigan electors
to-day cast their ballots for two Justices of
the State Supreme Court, two Regents of
the State University, and two amendments
TO the constitution, besides county officers.
The amendments were for the increase OF
the salaries OF State officers and the pro-
hibitIOn Of the liquor traffic. Both the
liquor and anti-liquor men have worked
hard, lively campaign being the result.
An important factor in the fight has been
the temperance element that doubted the
effectiveness of pTohibltory legislation.
Owing to the energy working for and
against the prohibition amendment a very
full vote was polled, this being partic
ulaIly true in the southern part of the
State.
In the upper peninsula snow fell to
the depth of from two to four feet, and
very materially interfered with the vote.
Generally the day was quiet, although in
a few places trouble between Prohibition
lists and anti ti-Prohibitionists was reported
Women have been present at the polls all
day working for the amendment So far
as reported, at 10 clock, the prohibition
amendment is strongly opposed in the
cities, but the country vote seems TO
nearly overcome this.
1t is almost an 1mPossibility to give
definite returns sO-night. All reports so
far received are scattered and incomplete.
However, enough is known to show that
the Republicans have elected their
State ticket by a safe plurality. The
Tribune claims a plurality of not less
than 10000. As to the amendments, later
returns seem to make the adoption of both
assured. The vote on the prohibition
amendment has been very heavy and the
aati-liquor element has apparently gained
the victory. There being no basis on
which to figure, estimates can be given.

EX-SENATOR MCDONALD.
Views On the Campaign of 'sS, and on

New lUIk opcCihl.
Ex-senator Joseph E. Mcdonald OF Indiana,
was strolling in the lobby of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, Saturday. his loose irock coat swinging
around his sturdy form like a toga on an anna
teur actor. What is the prospect for Demo-
cratic victory in 1sss?" was asked.
"Oh, first rate, I think You see the Demo
Gratis in my State refused to vote at the last cleo
ton because they thought the administration
had not divided the patronage sufi-
cienty among them. I suppose 10000,
at least, refrsined from voting on
that account alone. I do not mean TO say by
this that President Cleveland has not made
good appointments in my State for he has but
in the Congressional districts there was great
many aspirants who failed to get Office. These
same men, too, will turn out in lSSS aud vote
for Mr.. Cleveland, If he is nominated, because
they know he is preferable to a Republican
President. President Cleveland has ample
time to strengthen himself wonderfully before
his term expires. He came into Office not
knowing public men, and has devoted his time
mainly. almost exclusively, to routine work.
He has made a fine administration and
an excellent Chief Executive. there is
no doubt about tnat, and has
shown that he has a backbone and
stamina But If he would take some line Of
policy and shape it-s policy that would re
dound to his credit and 10 the creiit OF the
Democratic party he would sweep this country
with an irresistible impetus IN 1855. It would
add to his popularity, TO his strength ana to the
cohesion OF the Democratic party. President
Cleveland is conservative man, a sale man al

Cleveland in 1855, think it probable that Mr..
Cleveland may carry New York, though 1t
would be close race. Indiana viii go for
Cleveland, although 1t gave msiOIiiy for the
Republicans at the State election. Do think
Mr.. Cleveland viii be renominated? Yes, if b e
wants to be. But now can't tell you whether
he wants to run again. II he does and is elected,
I think his experience viii be such that he
will not attend so exclusively to his mere duties
as President, but turn his attention to policy
for his party. Many in his party think that he
should turn the Republicans out and put in
Democrats. do, too. ! believe that civil sery-
ice reform is a sham That law is not good for
a Republican form of Government which makes
q civil list and requires a tenure OF Office. 1t
may do well for England, but we do not desire
anything OF the kind in the United States.
Why If the Republicans should go in to-mor-
row and take coutrol Of this Government they
would turn out Immediately every Democrat in
office. There would be no dallying or weighing
in nice scales the delicacy OF such action, but
with stalwart promptness out would go every
Democrat, from even the smallest position"

candidates for Council, six in number, were
all elected, and their aggregate majority
win reach 200. ALI of the Republican
candidates for the city offices are also
elected by large majority. The most
startling feature of the returns Is in the
smsl:ness of the Labor vote as indicated
by the number of votes cast
foT Mr.. Grote, the only Labor
candidate on the city ticket that
was lot indorsed by the Democrats. The
idications are that he has not received one
half as many votes as were thrown in the
city for the Labor party at the election In
November. Any talk of allowing a polit-
ical faction to again name ticket for the
Evansville Democracy is greeted with the
expression 'ohestnuts."

BILL.

1t has become custom at each
session of the LEGISLATURE to pass
resolution In the shape Of a me-
mortal to Congress, denouncing in
florid rhetoric the 'exaetions," ''ex-
tortions," etc., of the railroads.
The members place themselves
on record by voting for the res6lu-
tions, most OF them knowing that
they are not worth the paper they
are printed On. 1t is a fact well
known to those acquainted with
National Legislation that such res
olutions are shorn of effect by the
introduction of Incorporate Ian
guage. The National Congress looks
coldly and critically upon all such
affairs and a memorial to Congress
which contains anything more than
a plain, carefully considered state
ment Of facts, is looked upon as
the work of some one who has a
personal grievance.
In the debate on this subject
Assemblyman Craig, of Lyon
called attention to the language of
the resolution, which expressed the
same wish embodied, in more SIM
pie and less heated language.
He explained that the reason
why the substitute in its simplicity
was presented was because the COM
mittee concluded that obnoxious
words, epithets, ETC., ms contained

embodied in Memorial to the Uni

Several Senatorial candidates

point to the election of George
Hearst. The general opinion Of
the people of California is that
Hearst is an old fossil with more
money and very little influence.
He causes broad grin in Wash

Among the aspirants the man
most conspicuous for his brains is
Col. Irish of the Alta. He is a
man of polished wits, backed with
force and culture. His writings are
noted for fine Anelo-Saxon ring
that delights every lover of good
English. He is also fin shed or
ator aud man Of qGiekness and
energy OF course he will not be
elected. California Democrats are
tied up to old SilurIan principles
and Irish has too much snap and
ginger for the rest of the rarty.
